The MCD began blocking cards for those who do not “close” their trip from June 3, 2023.

In Moscow, from October 15, tariffs for public transport users have changed. A one-time trip using the Troika card has increased in price from 50 rubles. up to 54 rubles, and when logging in using biometrics – from 46 rubles. up to 50 rub.
